My son is earning his masters degree to become a dietitian/nutritionist and is doing his internship at the local hospital which of course is unpaid. He was bar-tending at a small college bar working for tips and was making about $170/200 a night on the weekend in cash tips.
A woman came in and sat there, ordering a few off menu drinks and chatted him up, and did this for 3 nights straight for about an hour. On the third night she hit on him, and he very politely turned her down, he was just married in March of this year and his wife agreed that if him not wearing his wedding ring got him more tips she was fine with it.
The woman just smiled, handed him a card with a just a mans name on it and a phone number, told him they would love if he interviewed for a better position if he was interested.
It was for a bar-tending job at the new casino they built in Terre Haute, they were looking for someone to work Friday and Saturday nights only at the big bar that is on the top of the building. He interviewed and was offered the job on the spot, the woman was sizing him up and was looking for people who met their criteria.
Little @#$% will be making about $300/night cash tips when all is said and done, I would have killed to have a part time job like that while going to school. His wife is a teacher and was offered at job at Rose-Hulman college just down the street. I guess I can put a check next to that child as figuring out what it takes to be successful in life.
Generally, you get the children you deserve. Well done!
